Scuba Diving
Expect green turtles, reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, stingrays, snappers, surgeonfish, fusiliers, and big schools of reef fish.

Freedive use is not the main fit here because the site is shaped by current and boat-based reef routing.
Snorkeling
This is a scuba-first reef dive rather than a snorkel site, because the main action sits on the reef edge and channel line.
